Re: My developer problem
Re: My developer problem Welcome to long hours of debugging at nights, the headaches of messing with a build system for hours on end just because of a goddamn dependency suddenly decides not to compile, the feeling of not doing useful when you're out of motivations, and a lot of reading, the doubt of whether a feature could be better coded, failing at your research because later then you find out you don't acquire the necessary knowledge and, most of all, days of despair and wrath at yourself when you feel like you haven't been doing it right. Should you choose to enter this realm you will be bestowed with the curse of the gods, the blessing of the truth and the joy of coding!

Re: moste stupid question ever, any help?
Re: moste stupid question ever, any help? You can do string_to_number() which exactly does as it says that is, gives you an integral/decimal type of the string value. Moreover, for your first question, you could create an input_box with forms, although that might not be exactly what you want. I think you could also achieve doing some dialog boxes with Windows API, although I haven't looked into it. I could be wrong though URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/511074/#p511074 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: C input?
Re: C input?
Alright so here it goes, though you could ask Dr. Google for more fancy schmancy stuff, but generally in C/C++ you have memory management. This means that variable allocation is divided into two primary parts. Stack and heap. The stack part is where you usually define your static variables, and what I mean by static is that the space for the variable is already predetermined in compile time. But then you have the heap part and there comes a dynamic allocation where the space is allocated during run time and you could dynamically alter the space as long as you play by the rules. So, in order to access a dynamically allocated variable you have to use pointers or references. Basically what this means is that you define a variable name of type int eg, and using the * after the type would turn it to a pointer. Now you have to point this variable in the right direction, which is the space you have allocated for it. Generally you could use pointers/references to point to anywhere you want, it shouldn't necessarily be a dynamically reserved space. In C, malloc is the function which you allocate memory, free is the function which you deallocate memory. What post 5 means by passing a pointer to the input function is something like int getIntInput(bool* OK). Then in the function body you could do something like if(scanf("%d%c", , ) != 2 || term != '\n') { *OK=false; //* is the dereference operator. It says something like "hey, go to this guy's location and set his value to *false." Although you have to pass an already allocated bool to it, otherwise what you dereference could be some random *block, which would piss your computer off, resulting in unexpected crashes/ horrible memory leaks/ etc. }Look at This page to see this in action.

Re: Sounds question
Re: Sounds question There's this little trick that sound pool uses that is, check if player is in a specified boundaries and center the sound, otherwise position the sound at the edge of the boundary related to the player's position. You could have eg, only a stream sound with this rather than several stream sounds playing at once to form the boundary. If there are other ways to achieve this I'm unaware, but mostly you could get by this and just leave it at that.

Re: Example.bgt?
Re: Example.bgt? Well actually RTFM is very common, check out Here. And 2 clearly didn't intend to be rude nor hostile. You should learn to research first and ask questions then if you'd like to become a professional programmer. Well not quite right, but adapting the skill to have patience and research your problem first would definitely sound professional in the eyes of an outsider. This clearly conveys that you actually care to have your answer, and are not just a lazy guy who wants things ready and set.If you were to ask such question on somewhere like stackoverflow.com you'd also get the "RTFM!" answer, or would have your topic locked, and this has nothing to do with hostility neither rudeness.Anyway enough rambling. You may check out Mason's Open sourced games and or check out the BGT initial webpage to get a couple of small BGT projects to see how things work.

Re: Zombie Arena Source Code?
Re: Zombie Arena Source Code? This is not going to work at 8. You do read sourcecodes to see how one had solved a particular problem with a particular solution and learn eg their design, Analise their algorithm, and over all get yourself more suited to the technology they used. You can't take a portion from this, modify it, take off another chunk from there, fiddle with it and put the results back together and then expect the outcome to suit your desires. This is not true though always. Sometimes you come across a well written piece of code, for instance a new container. Then you realize that this container is what you need. Then you inspect the license or ask the developer if you're permitted to use it or not. But then again, programmers are supposed to come up with new solutions, not just copy pasting other's.

Re: How to create achievements in bgt?
Re: How to create achievements in bgt? I mean programming is all about solving problems. You could pick a paper and write down your solutions first, then if not satisfied, come ask around for a better solution. It's not like you face a barrier and then quickly retract and cry out for aid. You patiently take a break, try working around it, either breaking it down, climb over the top or walk around an edge. This really does not matter if you're coding in BGT, Python or even Brainfuck. A solution eg here, is to first write a class. This achievement class contains a message text/audio, a name for the achievement, a type for the kind of achievement, a timestamp to keep the track of when the achievement was awarded, and optionally a Boolean to specify if the user unlocked it or not. Then you could add all the achievements to a menu and show it to the user, have it uploaded on somewhere and show it on a web page, email it to the user, export it to a text file, etc. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/454434/#p454434 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
